>>103614193>beta tester: Arc B580But its the best card right now and also it uncovers AMD x Nvidia deep state deal about high pricing cap policy. Literally demons.
>>103614298AMD and Nvidia definitely collude (or Nvidia sets the prices and AMD just follows), but the B580 isn't insane. It's competing against a two year old card, the 4060. A $40 discount after two years (if we're going by straight performance and not features) is pathetic. It'll be interesting to see where the low end pricing setts after Nvidia and RTG release their low ends
>>103614076I don't expect games to start going past 32GB of RAM until the PS6 is in full swing
>>103614298>But its the best card right nowit's at best a decent entry level card, for a few months until 50 series comes out
>>103614238Just wait some more?I can do that.Is it really a problem that I waited so long to upgrade to begin with or is it because I should have jumped on sooner?
>njudea are trying to scam people by selling 5080 first that only has 1k extra cores compared to 4080super while hiding the monster 5090 for laterLmao
>>103614362Neither, just the luck of current market conditionsYour current CPU isn't bad, and actually unless you're planning on getting a 5080 or something, you probably won't notice any different performance outside of a isolated situations
>>103614405I appreciate it, thanks
>>103614417What cards are Navi 44 and what are Navi 48?
>>103614417Excited for 9080xt (where is it), 7900xt was priced too much
>>103614379cool it with the antisemitic remarks, chud.
my current plan is to wait for Asus to announce their first BTF mobo with amd socket AND a BTF 5080/5070Ti at CES.so I can make the cleanest build possible. any objections?

>>103614459I would assume the split corresponds to the division in bus width, don't really know, don't really follow rumors for Radeon cards>>103614524Cable in contact with fan blades
Seems as if AMD integrated graphics will serve as their low end GPUs (50/60 tier) while dedicated GPUs will be midrange (70/80 tier)
>>103614542What gen will that APU be?I got disappointed by 7000g apu
>>103614417>No 4080/5080 competitorWhat is ayymdead doing?
>>103614417>9070 XTIf that performance estimation is true they better be way on the lower end of that price scale because you can already buy a 7900 XT for $650.
>>103614298OP is retarded, never mind him
>>103614587'8050s' and '8060s'may just be on laptops?
i bought the sn850x based on someones recommendation here. most expensive storage i've ever bought. hope it was worth it.
>>103614542AMD's APUs are too weak to be a 7600 successorReally in AMD's camp, a 7800 XT class card is the minimum acceptable (as it can run full resolution 1080p in new games), which according to that rumor is being replaced by a $350 12 GB card, basically a more powerful version of the 7700 XTBasically if you're going Radeon you'll need a card that can run all the current games you want to play at full resolution and then pray that FSR4 will be good and adopted by developers. Really not worth even considering Radeon until there's some qualification of FSR4>>103614611>because you can already buy a 7900 XT for $650.We'll see if reviewers hold AMD's feet to the fire, or whether the usual suspects will give it a pass
>>103614669The number of poop emojis is my favorite measurement.
>>103614669amd steve conveniently ignores the fact the 4060 ti 16gb is easily found for 400 and will outlive the 7700xt
Is the 5700x any good if I just want a cheap upgrade, right now, mild gaming, no questions asked?
>>103614417about what I was expecting, the people speculating that it would be 4080 tier are mental, tsmc N4 is only the tiniest marginal improvement over N5
>>103614771To me it seems that there will be an RX 90809070 XT can't be the top of the price range give, as the 7900 GRE is already a $550 card
>>103614507>he doesn't know
>>103614788and its been discontinued.https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-reportedly-discontinues-radeon-rx-7900-gre
>>103614788>9070 XT can't be the top of the price range give, as the 7900 GRE is already a $550 cardoh but it can be, if they say that the 9070XT has new FEATURES like NVIDIA has that make it better than the GRE and 7900XT, or did you forget that nshartia was able to sell the 2060 for more than the 1080ti launched at?
>>1036146694080 is the biggest scam and the woat, comlared to the goat 1080, 5080 is looking to soon replace yhe 4080 as the woat
>>103614814Stock apparently has dried up, interesting. Until a few days ago they were available for around $550. Yet another way for reviewers to give Radeon a pass
>>103614843>to give Radeon a passI don't know what you mean by this?>AMD IS OFFERING 4080 PERFORMANCE FOR $600, HOW DARE THEY!
>>103614814I have one and it's not much better than a 4070. Sure it has more vram and slightly faster rasterization, frame times suck, image quality is just garbage, the Windows drivers are still garbage, and Linux isn't worth using so the 7900GRE ended up in my wife's PC. AMD just can't seem to make a good GPU. It crashed in games more times than I could count and even Linux running on Nvidia seems to be more stable than using the 7900GRE.
>>103614863See>>103614870It was nowhere close to a 4080 in my testing. The 4070ti was faster. The regular 4070 traded blows with the 7900GRE. What a disaster.
Are there any ATX cases that do bottom-to-top airflow instead of front-to-rear airflow? So basically having the PSU position at the front instead of the bottom or behind?It makes so much more sense since the GPU can get cool air directly, and the tower cooler can intake from the rear instead of the hot GPU air. Alternatively, AIO up top though it's primarily getting hot GPU exhaust, would need side mesh panel or rear intake again
>>103614878I still do not know what you mean, how would that be giving AMD a pass for the 9070XT?
>>103614863>4080 performancethe 7900gre trades blows with the 4070 super dude, RDNA 4 is going to be a dud at $600
>>103614835>nshartia was able to sell the 2060 for more than the 1080ti launched at?Absolutely never happened. The 2060 6 GB was $300 when I bought one coincidentally with the Super refresh>if they say that the 9070XT has new FEATURESLikely that FSR4 will be available on RX 7000. It has the WMMA aka ML block.>>103614863You are confused. My point was that the 9070 XT could not be the top of the given price range >>103614417 because the 7900 GRE is already that performance (it's what it's being compared to) for $550. My question is how much reviewers will give AMD a pass if it releases a refresh of current price/perf, and I noted that it's easier for them to do that if the 7900 GRE's normal market value has disappeared
>>103614417This is such a catastrophic L that I suspect AMD is just sandbagging to clear out their current inventory. Then again, the pessimists have been right about every AMD gpu launch since 2013 or so.
>>103614900this is a literally who, why would I take them seriously >>103614417
>>103614900>Absolutely never happened.It absolutely did happen, I sold one of my GTX 1080s for $1,000 used, which is $400 more than I bought it for. 2060s were going for more than $700 then, though, not from nvidia itself because they were all scalped.
>>103614342Dumb nigga it’s targeting low budget buyers
>>103614417Wait. What happen to the 8000 series?
>>103614941Some guy on shitter said it's now the 9070 series and as you know everyone on shitter is always right.
>>103614941Supposedly being used for the graphics clusters in the new high-end APUs.
>>103614914Because that's a notable, reliable leaker, not a literal who>>103614911I think he's saying bottom N48 will be $450 for 7900 GRE performance, in other words a ~15% discount on rasterization but probably more in RT.>>103614941Apparently it's been renamed, but who knows. All this stuff is just rumor until the cards appear
Wanting to forego hard drives on the new build for sound and sanityAlready went with a 4TB 990pro for the boot driveWhat would be the best option for secondary/storage drives?Wanting to grab a second 4TB for nowWould mostly use it for general storage and maybe some less demanding lesser played games from the libraryp3 plus? evo plus? WD Blue SN5000?
>>103614417WAIT, WHAT THE FK IS THAT NAMING SCHEMEi was going to start upgrading my CPU to the 9950X3D whenever that will show up, and then upgrade my GPU to the 9950XTX when that comes outi cant do that anymore??????
>>103614952>>103614962>>103614965AMD marketing is the absolute worst in the entire industry holy shit. Like it takes negative talent to be this bad as just pulling some rando off the street wouldn't result in such asinine choices.

Question lads: I'm currently sitting next an awesome rig with my 10+ year old 1080, 60hz monitor, and it's fine. It works, I like it.However, how big a difference would picrel be? Some people say making the jump in refresh rate is night and day, but I have no idea, and yeah I feel like sticking with 1080 for now; I do both gaming and production tasks.Link to monitor (it's on sale):https://www.newegg.com/asrock-phantom-gaming-pg27ff1a-27-fhd-165-hz-ips-black/p/N82E16824028002
>>103615007Ayymd crowd does unpaid labor for them kek
Ayyymd gpu is now following their cpu>desktop shit 9000 series, mobileshit 8000 series
>>103615016Just keep it for now and upgrade to 1440p later on. 165hz is a decent upgrade though ever
>>103615029>tfw I will never have an 8800x3d + 8800xtx build
>apes intel core i3/5/7/9 with ryzen>apes intel core ultra with ryzen ai>apes nvidia naming scheme as well nowCan amd do anything original
>>103615016The jump from 60Hz to 120Hz+ is literally night and day not only in reduction of motion blur, but by halving input latency as well which makes the entire system feel more responsive from just moving the cursor around to dragging windows and files on the desktop. You'll never want to go back to 60hz ever again after making the jump.https://pcmonitors.info/articles/factors-affecting-pc-monitor-responsiveness/That all said, the monitor you picked out is 1080p diluted across a 27" panel which will look bad compared to your current (I'm assuming) 24" one on account of poor pixel density. And that size, you should upgrade to a 2560x1440 resolution that not only is higher on it's on but is a tighter pixel pitch which will improve perceived sharpness/clarity.Splurge the extra $40-50 for one of these (the Dell if you can manage it):https://www.amazon.com/SANSUI-Monitor-Computer-ES-G27F2Q-Included/dp/B0CWCWL81Ghttps://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-gaming-monitor-g2724d/apd/210-bhxc/monitors-monitor-accessories?tfcid=33163968

Seems I might have to return my monitor. Can a dead pixel be darker than the monitor's black? I'm pretty sure now these are dead pixels and not dirt but I'd like to be 200% sure.Also any ~500€ 4k 32" IPS monitor recs? Part of me's still thinking of going bigger after all if I do fully return this. I don't care about HDR, no curvedshit, 16:9.

>>1036151098tb nvme SSDs and 9800x3d from microcenter
>>103615095AMD's naming scheme was too confusing for buyers only familiar with Intel/NVIDIA product names. Most don't know what AMD is.
>>103615138Just get a 4k 120hz TV. For some reason they make great panels these days. Just do a cooling mod and don't connect it to the Internet.
>>103614870What games?
>>103615161I will be at a Microcenter in Boston actually. I still got a 3700X system back at home.
>>103615165I'm pretty tight on space, 32" is already pushing it hard.
>>103614978Either the Evo Plus or the SN5000>>103615016VRR / adaptive sync + high refresh is a massive upgrade, but you want a resolution upgrade as well, probably to 1440p if you're on a budget. 1440p is barely more expensive, and if you want HDR the minimum monitor with decent HDR is already 1440p. As long as you have an Nvidia card it's not more performance intensive to run 1440p over 1080p in most cases
>upgrade to 1440p>have to play at 60 fpsNo thanks. Not gonna spend extra hundreds for a hobby I barely spend time with anymore
>>103615109Fuck off we're full.
>>103615219Same FPS at 1080p and 1440p (most of the time) if you have an Nvidia card
Thoughts on the new Dell G2725D?
>>103615138>Seems I might have to return my monitor. Can a dead pixel be darker than the monitor's black? Yes, because LCDs are never able to fully block the backlight from shining through which is why their contrast ratio is limited.>Also any ~500€ 4k 32" IPS monitor recs?What country are you in or have access to import from? In my experience Germany has the best selection/prices but customs duties may interfere with recommendations. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/xgzXsY/samsung-odyssey-g7-280-3840-x-2160-144-hz-monitor-ls28bg700epxxuhttps://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-g7-s28ag70^I don't see much reason to spend more than this for a 4K display in your region, it has enough bandwidth from the HDMI 2.1 port for full 4k@14Hz without needing DSC. If you go with a 32" panel it'll look fuzzier from the worse pixel density.

Are there any reliable high capacity SATA SSD's I can buy these days or is M.2 and NVME pricing the same now?
>>103615168Cyberpunk 2077, final fantasy 16, Hogwarts legacy, world of warcraft the war within, diablo 4, path of exile 2, Yakuza series (they all seemingly use the same engine), gta5, Minecraft with ray tracing mods, yuzu emulation. Across the board the 7900GRE failed to keep up with the baseline 4070, often crashing or despite saying it had more fps, felt slower due to increased frame times on both the core i7 14700F and Ryzen 5700X3D. The XT and XTX cards really did do a bit better but the GRE variant really was hot garbage. Not to mention their dogshit drivers that are barely better than they used to be. Often times the XT and XTX card would freeze up in game for like half a second then "catch up" moving hyper fast in unreal engine games. The GRE somehow didn't experience this, maybe because it was too slow, idk I'm speculating. On Linux these cards do fair a bit better than they do on Windows, but you have to put up with the dogshit on Linux. I simply no longer have the time to babysit Linux anymore outside of testing for the YouTube channel.
>>103615279You don't want sata. Sata maxes out around 6gb/s, my nvme maxes around 7000gb/s.
>>103615277That's the way DLSS works. You take whatever resolution you can run and turn it into a faux higher resolution. The faux higher resolution will always be better looking than the input resolution >>103615200
everyone knows amd as x3d so they should name everything x3d now
>>103615305X3D is a specific speed and amount of cache you stupid mouth breather.
>>103615303Not too keen on all this fake shit but I guess it can’t be any worse than the taa blur people complain about
>>103615279Pricing is fairly even these days (in the US, at least), so if you have the slots, you might as well get NVMe.
>>103615279i got my 8tb 850x for around the price of a far slower 8tb (qlc) sata ssd on black friday
>>103615294Surely 6GB is fast enough for most usecases. What's your NVME drive?
>>103615048>>103615100>>103615200Thanks lads. My system can run 1440 without issue. Looks like I'll be doing more research.
>>103615322>>103615324Nvme is actually cheaper than sata. Motherboards with nvme compatible slots go back to 6th gen Intel and 1st gen Ryzen. You have to have some shit tier poorfag hardware that DOESN'T support nvme. I have a board with a core i3 3220 with a nvme slot on it that seemingly just works with even the latest nvme drives. They weren't as common back then, but you'd have to really try hard NOT to have a nvme slot these days.
>>103614542Radeon 890M iGPU still loses to a GTX 1060.
>>103615254Not reviewed yet, but early comments suggest it's a cost-down version of the G2724D without RGB lighting, USB ports, and speakers and a different panel (fake 10-bit / 8-bit + dithering instead of native 8-bit only and 180Hz instead of 165Hz). I'd stick with the G2724D for now as it's known to have a good-for-IPS contrast ratio of ~1400:1 and sRGB mode making it a better all-around display at least until reviews for the new revision come in.

>>103614814Good riddance.The fan sounds like a jet engine on that thing.
>>103615336It's more that you'll cap out NVMe slots rather than not have one. t. data hoarder
>>103615330You can probably run 4k without issue. Just turn a few settings down or apply a patch from steam. A lot of games devs are super fucking lazy only supporting like a 4090. I run happily with a 4070 in my system and run 4k 120hz all day long. Final Fantasy 16 was notorious for 4k being dogshit and within a day of release a patch from the community was issued and it made the game look and run better at 4k. You don't need a 4090 to have a 4k experience. You just have to use Windows because for some reason modifying games on Linux is still very much hot garbage.
>>103615362Devs will get even stupider with 20k cuda 32gb 5090, 5080 at this point would be relegated to a 1080p card lmao
>>103615357Get a nas for that. They're incredibly cheap these days. I have a 4 port nas and it's really really good on gigabit Ethernet. I load roms over the network, videos etc. you don't want to horde data on a SSD.
>mfw looking at these am5 microcenter bundles that my eurofag ass will soon be able to waste cash bonuses on
>>103615369Oh no doubt. I'll have a 5080 but I feel your pain. The steam community is always patching games to run on lower end hardware though. I didn't get a 4090 or a 4080 because I couldn't find them during Bitcoin then covid... I settled on the 4070 and now a 4070ti, which I got in a trade. I have both cards and a 7900gre and my buddy has a 7900 XT and 7900 XTX we tested. Just wait and see because there will be patches you can apply that YouTubers don't seem to ever fucking mention. The amd specific patches seem fewer though. There's one for ff16 but finding things for more obscure games like the Lego games is a terrible experience due to more people just having low end Nvidia cards and patching games to run on those. Some of the performance patches do work with AMD cards but some make it straight up crash. Unfortunately zluda doesn't work on Windows just yet. AMD really is a Linux first card. And that's cool if you're into Linux. Devs need to be held to a higher standard when games from 2015 look better than 2024 games.

Why on earth is my newly built PC not creating a dump log when it blue screens? My cpu also idles at an unusually high temp, usually over 50° and can climb over 75° when I'm not even doing anything cpu intensive. I've got an AIO CPU cooler that works fine.

>>103615717Check whether your radiator gets warm and whether you feel any vibration from the tubes. If it's cold or if there is no vibration, your aio is defective. If it's warm and vibrating, check whether the cooler mated properly with the CPU based on the thermal paste spread.
>>103615744I bought the AIO because I was having this same issue with my first psu cooler (which was air) which makes me think this is a software/driver issue. Without any dump logs to review though troubleshooting is very difficult.
Is TAA noticeable at 4k, because I heard some people say it isn't noticeable for gaming?
>>103615770Dumps are useless anyway if it's not a CPU error when it comes to hardware problems Did you stress test your ram and CPU?
>>103614417AMD might be legit retarded
>>103615803>Did you stress test your ram and CPU?I did not. Any particular tools that you would recommend?
>buy new top end gou just to brute force old games to run at 240+ fps>developers new game looks worse and runs at 80-90fps on same hardwareFuck game devs so much
I want to build an emulator box, 6th gen and earlier. About how much should I expect to spend, considering a potentially small form factor
Is there even a reason to get a better computer? Currently I've got a Nokia X260 thinkpad and it can run daggerfall, why would I go higher?
>>103615782Not really, seems to be a 1080p problem
>>103615782>Is TAA noticeable at 4k, because I heard some people say it isn't noticeable for gaming?Yes. It's artifacts are temporal not spacial (that's literally what the T in it stands for) meaning they create blur and ghosting from having insufficient time series of previous frames to construct the AA algo with regardless of the resolution of said frames.

Top end nvidia are just space heaters that could lead to housefires
>>103615904>It's painfully clear Radeon shits out filler GPUs in-between console hardware generations.I don't mind filler cards if they actually took the design savings from the smaller dies and priced the resulting cards to make a real-world improvement in value over the older cards they are meant to replace. It took years for the 7700 XT to become viable against new/used 6800 XTs and I have zero faith the RDNA4 cards will provide meaningful competition to the 7900 XT/GREs that have been falling in price all year. And if AMD won't beat their own previous generation of cards, what's the point of even releasing a new series?
What's the cheapest way to activate Windows 11? I made a new build with a new SSD and I don't know how to transfer over Home Retail version from my old PC, or if I even can.

What’s the cheapest ssd I can get for gaymes? What GB/s should I aim for?
>>103616026>What’s the cheapest ssd I can get for gaymes? What GB/s should I aim for?Speed differences between the fastest and slowest SSD are neglible in the real world because there is hardly any difference between their access times (latency) and small queue depth random read/writes which games/OS mostly do. LTT proved this with a blind test years ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DKLA7w9eeAAs far as which model go with the best $/GB model. I recommend this:https://pcpartpicker.com/product/f4cG3C/silicon-power-ud90-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp02kgbp44ud9005
>>103616004Damn, thanks anon. I didn't even realize you could just run a github script and activate it that easily. Makes sense though, just advances Windows market share and I imagine the average PC user isn't aware they can do this, so it doesn't really hurt their bottomline.
>>103615909Ok I'll try those and report back after.
I only browse these threads from time to time, but man, the dude who spams these threads with benchmarks from Hardware Unboxed, Tom's Hardware and TechPowerUp without context has to be the most pathetic human being I've ever known. Have you guys already given a name to that dude? This general is his whole life.

Where the fuck do you buy this
>>103616249in the screenshot
>>103616249https://www.newegg.com/asrock-pg27qft2a-27-qhd-180-hz-ips-black/p/N82E16824028007?But at that price the -B variant (same panel with a different stand) or the Dell 2724D are better:https://www.newegg.com/asrock-pg27qft1b-27-qhd-180-hz-ips-black/p/N82E16824946003https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-27-gaming-monitor-g2724d/apd/210-bhxc/monitors-monitor-accessories?tfcid=33163968
>>103616249That IPS panel should be available from other brands, you could've bought the Strix XG27ACS for under $200 during Black Friday in the US.
>144hz+>4k>around 40 inches>around $500any options? currently only seen one TV in those specs
>>103615338Does it lose to an ARC a380?
>>103616069I feel like 2tb won’t be enough soon with these file sizes…
>>103616299>>103616296They don't seem to be able to ship the monitor to my country...
>>103616338Neither thisWhat the fuck, dude
>>103616388just repurpose it into a thumbdrive when you start to get clogged up
>>103614193Why is the OP occasionally dogshit?
>>103616365a380 is basically on par with a 1060
>>103616224we can call him the vramdenier or dlssalesman

>>103616499Newegg do ship to Mexico, dumbass

What 140mm fans should I get for front intake?
Does anyone like GN or Hardware Unboxed review all the AIB versions of a new graphics card when it launches or just the founder edition? Where should I look to make a decision about which 5090 version to buy when it launches next month?
>>103616587The only thing that really matters between models these days is the cooler efficacy, and that primarily comes down to heatsink mass. If you don't care about noise at all get a cheap Zotac or something, or if you do care about noise go for an MSI Trio/Asus TUF, or even a Suprim/Strix.Seriously power delivery circuitry doesn't matter anymore as a relevant consideration, as these cards are all redlined out of the box anyway and have pathetic overclock headroom.
>>103616587It's just a gamble my dudeI got a strix 4090 at launch and thoroughly regretted it from how loud the coil whine was. I swapped over to the gigabyte gaming oc months later based on user reviews and it's been great
>>103616570I don't know what Mexico-specific e-tailers might have available for you Mexi-Anon but this looks like the best deal on a budget gaming 1440p IPS like the Asrock you were looking at in >>103616249 for $3,592 MX.https://www.amazon.com.mx/Pulgadas-computadora-Freesync-Displayport-Soporte/dp/B0D3SVM4V9/
Have you taken the not-upgrading-current-setup-still-works pill yet?
>>103616654Do you think this is a "past performance predicts future results" scenario where Gigabyte's 5090 OC will perform similarly well?
>>103616735Considering there is a high likelihood that AIBs will just copypasta their existing 4090 coolers over to the 5090 (for good or bad), yes.
>>103616735dont get me wrong, the strix had a banging good cooler but they messed up in their EMF design by using components that would vibrate very annoyingly in the audible range of humanscoil whine is not something reviews test for so that's why I said it is completely a gamble on whether you'd be happy with what you got
>>103616670
>>103616669This actually does fit my criteria on all points, very much appreciate the assistance
>>103616785What r your specs
>>103616462trannies like to hijack OPs for self-validating their self-mutilating life choices, it's a common affliction among generals
>>103616670I did this for 8 years but my CPU is hitting the wall now so I ordered new parts this week. I'll finally be able to play stutter free.
>>103616791No problem.
